GIG-AR CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application filed May 5,

T all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, WALTER MONTGOMERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of lllinois, have invented a new and useful Cigar and Cigarette Holder, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a cigar and cigarette holder, and one object of the invention is to pro-' vide novel means whereby the device may be caused to grip a cigar or cigarette releasably.

Another object of -.the invention is to provide novel means whereby the saliva will be held back and be prevented from running down into the holder.

In the accompanying drawings Figure lshows in side elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the invention; Fi ure 2 is a cross section on'the line 22 of higure l; and Figure 3 is a longitudinal section.

The device forming the subject matter of this application comprises a body 1 which is split as at 2, to form resilient trough-shaped jaws 3. The mouth piece end of the body 1 preferably is closed as at 4, and has a re duced opening 5, the construction being such 30, that the saliva. cannot find its way from the mouth of the user into the body 1.

About the jaws 1 extends a tightening device in the form of a ring, the constituent members 7 and 8 of which are pivotally con 5 nected as shown at 9. The member 8 or 1920. Serial No. 379,192.

the tightening device has a recess 10 wherein is received the reduced end 16 of the memher 7 of the tightening device, a set screw 11 or fastening element being threaded into the ends of the members 7 and 8 to prevent 4 the ring 6 from opening.

'When the ring 6 is slid forwardly along the jaws 3, the jaws will be compressed on the clgar or cigarette, and by advancing the screw 11 until the screw bears against one of the jaws 3, the ring or tightening device 6 may be held in any position to which it' may have been adjusted longitudinally of the jaws 3. When the screw 11 is removed, the members 7 and 8 of the ring 6 may be opened, to permit the ring to be placed readily around the body 1 of the holder.

I claim 2- A device of the class described, comprising. a body provided with resilient jaws; a ring slidable along the jaws and including pivotally connected members; and a tightening element engaging said members to hold them together, the tightening element, 00

operating with one of the jaws to hold the ring in adjusted positions longitudinally of the jaws;

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
